    Your question makes no sense! In the first case you are taking one third off, in the second you are taking a fifth off and in the last you are taking a fiftieth off the undiscounted price.

    33 1/3%=0.333%

    the discounted price would be

    1.00-0.333 = 0.666%

    66 2/3&

    20%=0.20

    the discounted price would be

    1.00-0.20= 0.80

    80%

    2% =0.02

    the discount price would be

    .100-0.02=0.98

    98%
